== Re: talk page suggestion == | |||
The suggestion was made months ago, posting it on the talk page would probably go unnoticed. | |||

== Colors or Colours == | |||
Are we suppose to use "Color" or "Colour" on the Wiki? I ask this as I see a 62 other pages using "Colour" when searching the spelling on the Wiki. [[User:Wolff| Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 08:29, June 15, 2021 (EDT) | |||
:It depends on what the article uses. If the article uses American spellings for everything, then use the American spelling for everything else; if the article uses non-American spellings for everything, then use the non-American spelling for everything else. Another thing I've noticed is if articles use one spelling, then related article should also. For example [[Armor]] uses the US spelling, when [[List of armored attacks (SSBU)]] was first made it used "armoured" (the non-US spelling) in the title. It was changed to the US spelling later because the other articles about armor (and itself) use the US spelling. See also the [[SW:MoS#Writing style|Manual of Style]]. Unrelated: your signature has "&<nowiki>#32;</nowiki>" in it, which translates to a space; not sure if you intend it to be there. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 09:00, June 15, 2021 (EDT) | |||
:: That's the thing, from what I could tell, the spelling does not seem like it is consistent across page types. Also, not entirely sure what you mean about the signature. [[User:Wolff| Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 01:21, June 16, 2021 (EDT) | |||
:::That's all I know about the policy. I'd defer to someone else, maybe an admin, if you need more help. For the signature here's a [https://i.imgur.com/SpN9OhT.png screenshot] of what I mean.

== Joker's taunts and female Byleth's taunt. == | |||
Hello, I flagged the .gif files of Joker's taunts as low quality a good while back because Arsene is not present (he poses alongside Joker and Morgana during the taunts), and I also flagged female Byleth's up taunt as missing because she does a different pose than the male. Since Kazuya is releasing soon, I am giving you an heads up so that if you want you can take aside a moment to take care of those while you are uploading Kazuya's animations. --[[User:Rdrfc|Rdrfc]] ([[User talk:Rdrfc|talk]]) 14:18, June 27, 2021 (EDT) | |||

From what [https://www.nintendoenthusiast.com/bandai-namco-mario-kart-tour-arms-8-deluxe/ this article] states, Bandai Namco helped produce half of the visual assets for the stages, fighters and arms from the game. | |||
That being said, I feel their contribution to ''ARMS'' is far too small to warrant mentioning the characters on their page.

== Spirit Battle Template == | |||
Hi, it's been a while. | |||
I need an honest opinion on the Spirit Battle template we were proposing to change recently. You said you couldn't figure a way to separate a Spirit Battle's original content with the specific DLC changes, so I went ahead and tried a few things. I used the four hyphens (----) I normally use to separate the Spirit Battle inspiration from any additional trivia. It doesn't mark the exact change in grey, but it's separated the DLC nonetheless. | |||
You can find the changes here: https://www.ssbwiki.com/User:Autismo555 [[User:Autismo555|Autismo555]] ([[User talk:Autismo555|talk]]) 09:14, September 12, 2021 (EDT) | |||
:I'm not sure where I mentioned I was having that problem. Regardless, I have my own idea on how to put DLC changes in the same cell as the non-DLC that is more upfront as to what it is (even the current design can be a little ambiguous for newcomers). I plan on making a separate proposal on it at a later date to avoid having five different proposals doing different things stepping on each other (like it is now). | |||
:Also, you say on your page that I suggested that layout but it was actually Gambler Mario/MariusM. The talk page is a mess, so I'm not surprised and is why I [[User:CanvasK/Sandbox/Spirit proposals|made a page]] to consolidate everything. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 09:38, September 12, 2021 (EDT) | |||

==Rollback== | |||
I've seen you revert a lot of edits lately, so I was wondering if you ever considered [[SmashWiki:Rollback|applying for rollback]]. Rollback would make reverting multiple bad faith edits easier.

== How do I fix a broken link? == | |||
I made [[User:Gligar2007/Character_selection_screen|my own CSS]] and after Sora was announced, I put in his stock icon but it showed up as an error. I thought it would take time for people to get the stock icon but I see some pages have it now. | |||
Is the coding incorrect or do people just need to grab the stock icon from the game or something? | |||
[[User:Gligar2007|Gligar2007]] ([[User talk:Gligar2007|talk]]) 14:30, October 5, 2021 (EDT) | |||
:Everything is correct. Whenever you link to an image that doesn't yet exist, it may still show as missing even after upload. All you need to do is wait a bit after the upload, open the edit page, then save (don't have to change anything). This forces the wiki server to recheck the page and in the process it will (usually) add the image in. I went ahead and did it and it seems to be fixed. Same process for pages that show up in "Pages with broken file links". --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 14:39, October 5, 2021 (EDT) | |||
== Spirit Battle inspiration proposal follow-up == | |||
Hi! | |||
Sorry if I seem like a broken record, but have we reached, or if not, can we reach a consensus about using MariusM's proposal and your collapsible table addition for the Spirit Battle inspiration? It just seems now or soon will be the perfect time for it, since the KH Spirit Battles aren't far away. [[User:Autismo555|Autismo555]] ([[User talk:Autismo555|talk]]) 11:26, October 6, 2021 (EDT) | |||
:Consensus means there's been votes for one of them. There hasn't been any new votes and there's at most 3 votes for any given one. I'm still of the belief that it would be best to restart the proposal since the scope has changed from the original proposal. The existing inspiration should also be looked at, otherwise we just push an existing problem elsewhere. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 12:03, October 6, 2021 (EDT) | |||
::Alright. You still have my vote for MariusM's proposal and your addition to it. It just makes it easier to read.[[User:Autismo555|Autismo555]] ([[User talk:Autismo555|talk]]) 13:41, October 7, 2021 (EDT) | |||

Sorry if this comes off as too forward, but I was wondering if there was any particular reason you haven't applied for adminship on the wiki? I don't think I'm alone in saying that it seems like you'd be well suited for the role, and you're certainly more active on the wiki than most of the current admins. So I wanted to ask if there's a reason why you haven't applied, or if you're simply not interested, because if not, is it something you'd consider?

:I've only humored the idea in regards to being a janitorial admin. That is, removing redirects/images that typically end up in speedy delete. That and possibly obvious cases of bad faith/vandalism. Those would be the only obligations I can see myself being comfortable with. Outside of that I haven't given it much thought. I keep wanting to say "I don't have the confidence to do X as an admin" when I've probably done that at some point. I think I'd need to work on my self-confidence before... I have the self-confidence to apply... assuming I consider doing it at all. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 19:33, March 29, 2022 (EDT) | |||
::You aren't obligated to use all of the powers that adminship gives you, if that's what you're concerned about. What you just described is like 90% of what admins do, and with how active you are, it would make things run a lot more smoothly. I also believe you would receive support if you applied, so I definitely think you should consider it.

== Regarding PNGs == | |||
Since the topic has come up, I think this is something to mention. While this Wiki has no stated preference for image formats, some NIWA Wikis state that PNGs are preferred over JPEGs for gameplay screenshots, due to lossless formats being a better representation of actual gameplay, particularly native res lossless images. I think this is a sensible rule, and where possible it makes sense to apply it here. Obviously I do not have the means to do this myself, as the Switch's built in capture feature doesn't let you save captures as PNGs, or at native res, even when using a microSD card. If you ''do'' have the means to do this, I would like to ask you to do so. If you're not willing to do this, would it at least be possible for you to upload a native res version?

:I understand the reasoning, if I recall the Mario Wiki outlines their format preference. Of course I'm not going to go around and redo everything as PNGs (unless they are objectively poor quality), but if the clarity is important to the content then I can do so. <s>If I have the means but am unwilling to upload, then why would I be willing to upload?</s> --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 21:23, May 11, 2022 (EDT) | |||
== Regex examples == | |||
I suck at using regex so I'm asking you, how would you handle replacing all links such as <nowiki>[[Tournament:Test|Test]]</nowiki> to <nowiki>{{Trn|Test}}</nowiki>?--[[User:Rdrfc|Rdrfc]] ([[User talk:Rdrfc|talk]]) 07:12, May 19, 2022 (EDT) | |||
:<nowiki>[, ], and | are used in regex syntax, so escape those with a backslash (\). Nothing special up to :, so that can go in as is. To make sure the text on both sides of the pipe are the same, you'll want a capture group and backreference it. A capture group is in parenthesis () with the rules inside. You want everything up to the pipe, in other words every character that is not a pipe. Desired characters go in square brackets [], we can use ^ to get everything except what is after the ^, so ^| is everything except the pipe (you don't need to escape the pipe here, but sometimes you do). Since there's multiple characters, use + to indicate 1 or more characters to capture. Put the escaped pipe after. To reference what was just captured, use \N where N is the index of the capture group in the order they appear, so you want \1 for the first (and only) one. The replacement text is much simpler because there is barely any syntax to escape, but instead of \1 you use $1. And, ta-dah, you have a pile of lines and curves.</nowiki> | |||
